About Kara
Kara Jakubec is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings five years of clinical counseling experience and a background in mental health administration to her work. Kara focuses on helping people who feel stuck, anxious, or uncertain about life changes find practical ways forward.
She meets clients where they are and talks through what matters most to them. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Kara helps people break big problems into small steps they can try between appointments.
Background and approach
Her experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction and recovery, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges around parenting, relationships, career, and self-esteem. ADHD is also listed among her areas of focus. She has worked in settings that involved adolescents and parents, and has provided consultation and workshops for teams and professionals.
Kara describes her style as person-centered, combined with cognitive and reality-oriented tools. That means she listens first, then offers ideas and concrete strategies to test in daily life. She helps clients set clear, realistic goals and track progress toward them.
People who benefit most tend to want practical steps, regular check-ins, and a partner who helps keep plans on track. Kara aims to empower clients to name their priorities, try new approaches, and build routines that support long-term change.
Evidence-based approaches for online counseling
She blends person-centered listening with cognitive techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Cognitive work is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches simple ways to test thoughts and try different responses.She also uses reality-oriented strategies that focus on clear goals and actionable steps. Those techniques help when someone feels stuck, is facing life changes, or wants concrete plans for parenting, recovery, or work-related challenges.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what works. That collaborative process helps tailor support to a person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text are good for brief check-ins or daily support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
